Everyone is excited about these reconstructions of Renaissance clothing from famous portraits. While I’ve heard from someone who has seen them up close that they’re not all that well constructed, it’s still a pretty darn good idea. I remember the first time I went to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence back in 1995 — I was wandering around, admiring everything, when I came into the room that holds that famous portrait of Eleonora de Toledo and everything stopped. WOW.
